Pain relief after hypospadias surgery in children
Part of Genetic & congenital, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two types of pain-relief injections given during surgery for hypospadias repair in young children. The goal is to see which one works better for reducing pain after the operation.

This trial compares two different numbing techniques to help manage pain after hypospadias surgery (a procedure to correct the urinary opening in boys). The goal is to find which method works better and is safer for young children.
This study compares two ways to numb the lower belly and groin area for children having hypospadias repair. It tests if a newer injection method (sacral erector spinae block) works as well as the standard method (caudal block) to control pain during and after surgery.
This study tests whether a numbing injection into the lower back (caudal block) reduces the risk of a leak or fistula after hypospadias repair surgery in young boys. It may help your child have fewer complications and a smoother recovery.
This study compares two versions of a numbing medicine (bupivacaine) given as a penile block to see if adding another medicine (dexmedetomidine) provides better pain relief after hypospadias repair in children. The goal is to improve comfort during recovery.
This study tests a numbing injection (caudal epidural block) to improve pain relief during children's lower body surgeries. It is for children who are generally healthy (ASA 1–2) and having certain procedures.
This study compares two pain-relief techniques (erector spinae plane block vs. caudal block) in children aged 1 to 7 years undergoing orchiopexy (surgery for an undescended testicle). The goal is to see which method provides better pain control after surgery. Your child must be generally healthy and meet specific criteria to participate.
